Get Ready For Baby Challenge - Part 4

[HopefullyDothButterNoParsnips]

The thread where it does exactly what it says on the tin! We are all either actively TTC or preparing ourselves for TTC - come join us! Big thanks to confused for getting the last two threads going!

Crying at "Will defo hump him later" so bold!
Buzz I think our next thread should be called:
Humping and Jumping with our leader Nips.

My ICs are 10miu I think from my googling. I think FRER are 6.5...?

Jupiter - If that was me I'd just sneaky test early with IC for my own peace of mind and then get DH involved if there was a sniff of a line on a FRER?
Sometimes not telling DH's how crazy we are (POAS addicts) is for their own good! ha!

Confused you are deffo not impatient, you want to know one way or the other! xx Please take it easy, you're meant to be on bedrest!

Love it Wiggley!

So I think AF is on the way.... having brownish cm tonight which I normally get just before AF... if it comes tomorrow my cycle has only been 25days. What has all this pelvic pain been about?!

Mummy fx it's just something messing with you!!

Grumpy my oh got all excited and ordered mine for me last night! Hope you get to wear yours this month!! :)

Confused I'm sorry you didn't get your news tonight. Is dh able to go in late to work once you've heard? Sending all the love!

Jupiter I did mine alone, didn't want him to watch me peeing! But went straight through to tell him. There's no way in hell I could have kept it a secret!!

Huge lols seven hope you got your hump in!!

grumpy hope the next few days go very quickly for you... TWW sounds like mental (& physical) torture!

FX for results tomorrow confused

Still no AF
Told DH & he's excited for a baby!! This is 99.9% unlikely but if nothing by Thurs i might do a cheeky test to rule out cos ive got a girlie city break this weekend which will definitely include wine & camembert!

It IS torture! Plus DH is really annoying me tonight. His job is awful and he hates it but won't quit.. but he won't disengage either so has no mental energy for anything else! I feel like I'm having to take everything on myself (and no it's not normally like this). I know he's proud but I also hate to see him unhappy & I'm starting to feel resentful (after 5 months of this) which I hate. And we can't get another cleaner until the building work is done (actually the burden is more mental than house chores but still).

Fx AF stays away mummy keep us updated!

Ditto hb (without trying, that would be very lucky indeed!)

Confused I hope you get results first thing x

Hope you're all well today girls. Laughing at humping! Too funny!

Can confirm we have not reached a consensus on nips! I'd feel like a page three model! 😂😂

Confused - I hope you get some good news this morning. We are all here for you and will be waiting anxiously to hear.

Big fingers crossed to everyone who is testing. I've been doing my OPKs and nothing yet. But that might be because they cost like 30p each! Will keep you posted!

Good luck for blood test HB!

I have a work drinks tonight so I tested.. it's probably still too early but I think I might see a shadow of a line on this (obviously filtered the hell out of it to try and get it to show!). What is annoying me is that there is a little speck of dust on this where the line should be so I'm worried it actually is just that drawing my eye, but if you zoom at the top it is a bit pink? What do you think?

I haven't been up to the toilet this morning yet, AF hasn't arrived and I'm yet to do a wee for testing. Not feeling hopeful however, oh well.. on to the next cycle very soon!

grumpy I can't see anything obvious.. maybe possibly if I squint hard. I'm guessing it would still be early days for you though..

Thanks mummy and good luck! I'm saving my FRERs for Friday 10dpo and Tuesday 14dpo..

I didn't even get a hint on those ICs Grumpy so i'm thinking be safe and dont drink too much tonight =)

Sorry about DH too btw i understand... mine is in a job he hates in a company we no progression but thats why we have agreed on SPL so he gets a break too... but he goes through times when it seems like he doesnt hate it as much and then a week later it'll hit rock bottom again!

So i am hoping i'll find out around 9am as thats when the mean doctor called me yesterday... ive decided that if levels are more than 158 HCG then I am going to try and transfer my notes etc to the EPU at the hospital I want to go to. When i was there the other day waiting for the mean doctor the lady next to me said she had had 6 2nd trimester misscarriages (as late as 24 weeks) and all they offered her was a scan every 2 weeks... there was no investigation into the cause. Obviously hearing that has just put another nail in the coffin for me.

Fingers crossed for you this morning Mummy!!

Wow confused. Yes, definitely switch hospitals! That poor lady. Hopefully they ring bang on 9 for you and the mean doctor is not on duty!

Grumpy I can't see anything... but I'm still half asleep without glasses on!

Good luck mummy!!

Awk confused that's not good chat for you to hear right now. Hopefully he calls you soon with an update. Will be thinking of you.

Grumpy I can't see anything but I am hopeless at seeing any squinters. Probs best to go easy on the drinks. I think you can still have a few at this stage can't you as it won't make much difference yet (but not sure).

And good luck mummy!

BFN and more brown discharge which looks very pre AF 😔 So disheartening. Onwards and upwards, AF will be here in full force tomorrow and I'll be CD1 so will be able to chill out again.

Good luck for the phone call confused shocking to hear about the lady you were talking to not having investigations for mid trimester losses.. we get a lot of these and should always be thoroughly investigated as are often infection related

Ahh sorry to hear that mummy - on to the next cycle

Good luck confused hope the results are strong!

Ooh mummy sorry about the BFN. If Af arrives def treat yourself with a nice glass of wine 🍷

/ [halo Hi all, do you mind if I join/rejoin

I was actually on the original thread under EvieSparkles, had to NC as it's too close to my actual name haha :) I remember Confused, Grumpy and Redpony !

Confused, so excited to hear you fell pregnant but so sorry you are going though this now, I'll be thinking of you all day and peeping at mumsnet while I'm at work to see how you're getting on.

Grumpy I'm only between 3 (if I go by my own possible mittelschmerz) or 7 DPO (according to calendar) and I'm so anxious to test too. Did one on the 18th and of course it was negative, so don't worry there's plenty of time! If your 10DPO on Friday I think we're pretty much cycle buddies!

Mummy Sorry to hear about your BFN :(

Umm not sure what happened with my post formatting there

Oh rubbish mummy

On & up to next month where we're gonna smash the BFPs!

Hi glitters welcome back. I think I'm 7dpo today - had AF type backache on the 14th feb after lots of EWCM and very open cervix when I checked on the 12th. So I'm assuming 14th but could be 12th or 13th.. or 15th.. OPKs didn't really work for me! I had a line all the time that was just stronger in the mornings. Maybe I missed my surge. So Friday morning shall we both test?

Sorry meant 8dpo today!

🤞🏼 condused

mummy sorry about AF :( on to next month! We can do this!

grumpy I can't see anything but fingers crossed! All your symptoms are so positive!

Welcome glitter are you actively trying now?
